The beauty of Inuyama Castle comes from seeing it at a distance. From the Rhine Bridge, the sight of Inuyama Castle towering above and the rapidly flowing Kiso River creates a truly breathtaking scene.

Sunlight shimmered across the lake in Nikko. Walking along Lake Chuzenji during the fall foliage season, with the crisp air and wide-open lake views, felt incredibly refreshing.

A place where the modern and the traditional coexist. With buildings woven from vermilion and bronze—this is Kanda Myojin, Tokyoites’ guardian shrine.
I’ve visited quite a few shrines, but Kanda Myojin feels the most modern. The on-site cultural exchange center, EDOCCO, isn’t just a place to take a break—it’s more like a mini department store. There’s a café, and you can even pick up anime collaboration merch.
If I had to choose one spot to represent Tokyo, it would have to be Kanda Myojin. -

My first time visiting Asagaya. I came for Asagaya Shinmeigu Shrine, but ended up loving the vibe of the whole area.
Right outside the station, the streets feel super lived-in and local. Then once you step into the shrine grounds, it’s like entering another world—quiet, elegant, and really calming.
The embroidered goshuin and the omamori are beautifully made, with tons of options (including seasonal limited editions). It honestly made it hard to choose. -

Compared to Fukuroda Falls, the flow here feels more concentrated and powerful.
Even viewing from the observation deck at a distance, the thunderous roar is seriously impressive. It’s hard to believe this force comes from the calm waters of Lake Chuzenji! -

Heading north from Mito, I made it to Fukuroda Falls just to see one of Japan’s Three Great Waterfalls.
I expected something super grand and dramatic, but it was surprisingly elegant—gentle streams flowing down slowly.
There are two viewing platforms, and the different distances give you totally different views. -

While planning my trip, I randomly came across this “must-see before you die” view, and I decided I had to go!
Getting there isn’t very convenient, but seeing such an incredible sea of hydrangeas for the first time was totally worth it. It really reminded me of the magic of Japan’s four seasons—and now I want to go out and collect even more seasonal scenery! -

The exterior is super photogenic, and inside it’s more of a multi-purpose shopping complex. For souvenirs, compared with the nearby Aomori Prefecture Tourist Center ASPAM, the items sold here feel a bit more refined.
I also bought my second Aomori apple pie here. It was tasty, but compared to Angelique in Hirosaki, it wasn’t as memorable. -

Came to Inoda Coffee to get a taste of everyday life in Kyoto.
From the outside, it’s a traditional wooden building. But once you step inside, it feels like a retro Western-style café. The servers are a bit older, in red-and-white uniforms, and they move briskly between the tables.
It was close to noon when I visited. I ordered an egg-salad sandwich and some pasta, along with their signature Arabica Pearl. Looking around, I noticed plenty of local seniors dining there.
On a trip, getting to experience a slice of locals’ daily routine is one of the best parts of traveling. -

After Kiyomizu-dera’s renovations and once the pandemic had passed, I finally got to visit this famous spot.
From the moment I got off the bus, I walked up the sloped road, surrounded by that classic Kyoto scenery. I passed the Niomon Gate and the three-story pagoda, and ended up at the Kiyomizu Stage.
A super classic Kyoto sightseeing route. -
